Detailed Description

The Standard TH189T is an emission control throttle position sensor that reports throttle angle to the vehicle control system. Accurate throttle input is important for fuel delivery, idle quality, and transmission response, especially on older Dodge and Jeep platforms. This sensor is listed for 1998-2002 Dodge Viper, 1997-2001 Dodge Dakota, 1997-2001 Jeep Cherokee, 1997-2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 1998-2001 Jeep TJ, and 1998-2001 Jeep Wrangler, with 1997 TJ and Wrangler coverage noted through 7/97. This part cross-references Standard Ignition TH189 and Dorman - OE Solutions 977-519 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Erratic throttle signal readings
• Rough or unstable idle behavior
• Delayed throttle response
• Check engine light concerns related to throttle position input
• Driveability issues on Dodge Dakota and Jeep Cherokee, Grand Cherokee, TJ, or Wrangler models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector style, terminal layout, and throttle body application before installation. The TH189T uses a female plug-in connector with 3 male blade terminals and a black body, so matching the original sensor configuration is important for proper fitment. Confirm the vehicle year and note the 1997 TJ and Wrangler coverage through 7/97 when ordering for those applications.
